Now that the New Year is underway, employers should ensure that required messaging about employee/workers’ rights is up to date and conforms with federal, state, and local law.
Many laws obligate New York employers to notify workers about their rights. As we advised last Fall, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) updated its workplace poster, entitled “Know Your Rights” summarizing the federal laws enforced by the EEOC, which should be prominently displayed at work sites. In addition, as of January 1, 2023, New York employers with more than 50 full time employees are required to display a new Veteran Benefits & Services poster in a conspicuous place in the workplace that is accessible to all employees.
